HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The following masters of music have a birthday in November and I photographed them in the ‘70s!
Help me wish these people a happy birthday:
– Jim Steinman, the man behind Meat Loaf, and so much more. Born on November 1, 1947. Passed away in 2021. I shot him in Amsterdam’s first underground casino.
– JD Souther, co-writer for Eagles, James Taylor & Linda Ronstadt. Born on November 2, 1945, passed away in 2024. I shot him backstage with Joe Walsh in 1975.
– Herman Brood, Dutch painter and musician, known the world over. Born on November 5, 1946, passed away in 2001. I loved our time together. He was so creative and fun to work with. I shot him in the streets of Amsterdam (convincing him the H stood for Herman and not for something else) and at the Amsterdam Women’s Prison.
– My good friend Glenn Frey of Eagles. Born November 6, 1948. Sad to lose him in 2016. We did a fun photo shoot at his home in Laurel Canyon together with Don Henley and journalist Constant Meijers in 1975.
– Bonnie Raitt, fortunately she is still alive, kicking, and touring. And still gorgeous. I shot her live in 1975. Happy birthday on the 8th of November, Bonnie!
– Neil Young, the Godfather of Grunge. Born in 1945 on November 12, still rocking in the free world. I shot him in concert with the wonderful Stephen Stills. What a great duo!
Happy birthday, Neil!
– And last but not least, Joe Walsh, born on November 20, 1947. Still playing with Eagles, still going strong. I shot Joe backstage and during an interview upon joining Eagles back in 1975. Happy birthday, Joe!
